Racial and Ethnic Identity Development and Self-Esteem: Taking Pride in Being Different

Instructions:

Write a one 1 page paper using the scenario provided below.  Based upon the course concepts explored include your analysis as to why the teachers were reluctant to consider race as a factor in young childs behavior.  Furthermore, include a culturally competent approach to addressing this situation:
African American parents enrolled their young son in a predominately-Caucasian preschool.  Approximately one month after this child started preschool, the parents began getting calls from his Caucasian teachers complaining of non-compliant behavior.  After several meetings, the Caucasian teachers repeatedly made inquiries, wanting to know what was going on at home that was causing him to act out in school.  After several months of similar occurrences, the African-American child came home and declared to his parents on multiple occasions, his desire to be white.  Some of these conversations included claims by the African-American child of his knowledge of the existence of magic pills which turn African-Americans Caucasian.

The African American parents called a meeting with his teachers and told them some of the natural challenges their young son was experiencing, specific his racial identity, in a predominately Caucasian environment.  Furthermore, despite a small number of interracial, Hispanic/Latino/am and African-American classmates, their child was the darkest child in hue.  Consequently, these challenges are factors to be taken seriously in relation to his behaviors.

After approximately two minutes, the teachers interrupted the parents to explain how it is perfectly normal for children to daydream they are someone else.  One of the teachers told me that her son used to change who he was every week: a firefighter, a football player, and then a truck driver. After teacher the finished, the African Americans asked, Has your child ever come home wanting to be Black?  The teacher responded, No, but it is kind of the same thing.  The African American parents responded, No, its not the same, because your son can be a firefighter, but my son can never be White.

Carr article (download the pdf excerpt), “The Shallows:…” and write about what you think about it.  Is this information in the article new to you?  How do you relate to the idea that reading is relatively new, but writing is not?  How do you relate to only certain parts of society being able to write?  Use these two questions to jump-start your ideas on reading and writing and alphabets and early societies.  Take a look at ancientscripts.com and get more insight!  Carr is a leading expert in how writing came about and how reading is changing for all of us…these pages on early writing should be very interesting and eye-opening…

Write at least 500 words (don’t let that number scare you…it’s easy once you start typing…you’ve typed more than that on blogs and emails before…)

Start using references and footnotes also.  If you find some relevant support for your thoughts in the Fiero textbook, then cite (insert it as a reference) it.  If you support yourself with internet site info, list that webpage.  All sources count, except wikipedia.  This is the first exercise in writing concisely and fully…Use Microsoft Word’s reference tab and ‘insert citation’ features.
